Jade Goody has Cervical Cancer

Jade Goody, the racist from Big Brother, wants everyone to know she has cervical cancer. Her rep said:

"It looks like her cancer is at an early stage but we will have to wait until she gets back to Britain and sees a specialist and has more tests."

Goody has cervical cancer, which is the type of cancer every woman gets checked for once a year with a pap smear. It’s highly curable. I had a friend who had cervical cancer three times, and three beautiful children.

Cervical cancer can be caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV), and HPV is considered an STD (sexually transmitted disease). There is a vaccine available, but I believe it’s only for woman who are not already infected.

If Goody’s cervical cancer was found on a routine pap smear then she’ll be cured easily, especially since her rep says it was caught early. In recent years Goody has been getting checked for Ovarian, and bowel cancer, but both of those test have been negative. Although her announcement about cervical cancer appears to be for publicity, and attention, we still wish her a speedy recovery.
